SIX! Tom Draca to Michael Leask. Reverse Swing-Out full toss, outside off stump deep in crease pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and it's been a brilliant batting display from Scotland after being asked to bat first. The openers laid a strong foundation, led by George Munsey's impressive 84. Brandon McMullen then carried the momentum, scoring at a brisk strike rate to keep the pressure on the bowlers. Michael Leask provided the finishing touches with some valuable late blows, helping Scotland post a total in excess of 200. Italy's bowlers struggled to hit their marks, and a few missed chances proved costly. They'll need to put that behind them quickly as their batters come out with a positive mindset for the run chase. Join us shortly for the second innings.

That's it, Wayne Madsen will not come out to bat as Scotland seal a comfortable victory, winning by a commanding margin of 73 runs. The partnership between Harry Manenti and Ben Manenti briefly gave Italy some hope, but once those wickets fell, the result was all but sealed in Scotland's favour. Scotland's bowlers were disciplined throughout, picking up regular wickets, while the fielding effort was outstanding, making the task even easier for them. Michael Leask capped off a fine all-round performance. After scoring crucial runs earlier, he went on to claim four wickets with the ball and is rightfully adjudged the Player of the Match.
